Police to deploy in three layers of protection for Sharon funeral

Southern District Police chief, Major General Yoram Halevy, arrived at Anemone Hill where Ariel Sharon's funeral is scheduled to take place on Monday. Halevy said the police will deploy in three layers of protection.

The first layer, closest to the grave, will be isolated and closed off to the public. The second police barrier on the slope of the hilltop will be open to the public, and the funeral ceremony will be broadcast for the crowd four projectors. Halevy added that the IDF will provide any additional security needed. (Matan Tzuri)
